Virtual Scene Distance Display via Icon Overlay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In virtual scene applications, users face inefficiencies when trying to view the distance between their controlled object and a target point, as they need to open a map interface, which disrupts their operation and results in a poor display effect.
Innovation Solution
A method to display distance information directly in the virtual scene by obtaining location and distance information of a target location point and displaying it near the corresponding indication icon, without requiring users to open a map, using a terminal with a processor and memory to execute this process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the user opens a map interface to view distance information, then the distance information can be displayed, but the user needs to consume operating time and the display effect is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the distance information display with the existing map interface by overlaying distance information on indication icons within the map. This merging approach allows distance information to be displayed without requiring users to switch to a separate interface, thereby eliminating the time loss while maintaining comprehensive information presentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension of information presentation by displaying distance information directly on the map interface through indication icons, rather than requiring a separate dedicated interface. This dimensional addition allows distance information to be integrated into the existing spatial context of the map, improving accessibility without time penalty.
2Loss of information
If the user opens a map interface to view distance information, then the distance information can be displayed, but another operation of the user is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the distance information display function into the existing map interface by overlaying distance data on indication icons. This integration allows users to access distance information without leaving their current operational context, maintaining operation continuity and ease of use while providing the required information.
Solution Approach 2:
The map interface automatically displays distance information through indication icons without requiring users to initiate a separate action or switch interfaces. The system provides distance information proactively within the existing interface, allowing users to continue their operations uninterrupted while having access to distance data when needed.
3Loss of information
If distance information is displayed in the map interface, then the display effect is improved, but the information needs to be integrated into the existing interface
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by displaying distance information specifically at the location of indication icons within the map interface, rather than creating a new dedicated display area. This localized approach integrates distance information into the existing interface structure, maintaining simplicity while improving information visibility at relevant positions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses indication icons that already exist in the map interface as the basis for displaying distance information. By copying or reusing the existing icon structure and adding distance data to it, the patent avoids creating new interface elements, thereby reducing integration complexity while improving distance information visibility.

AI summary
This disclosure relates to a distance information display method in a virtual scene and a terminal. The method includes: obtaining location information of a target location point in the virtual scene; obtaining distance information according to the location information of the target location point; and displaying the distance information corresponding to an indication icon of the target location point in a scene picture of the virtual scene. According to the foregoing solution, in a virtual scene, for a target location point at which an indication icon exists in a scene picture of the virtual scene, the terminal may display information about a distance between a current controlled object and the target location point corresponding to the indication icon in the scene picture of the virtual scene.
